Padmount and dry-type units at this rating bought across Ohio, from pole cans to padmounts, with the freight arranged.
What we buy
What we buy here
At 7500 kVA, the difference between a single-phase and a three-phase unit is the difference between a can and a cabinet. Rigging weight, shipping weight and operating weight are three different numbers and only one of them belongs on a permit.
| Wet weight | about 42,000 pounds |
|---|---|
| Typical use | a substation or a generating site |
| Common form | substation |
| Why sellers call | Seven thousand five hundred kVA units usually have a conservator and a load tap changer, which changes the valuation. |

How it works
Six steps from your yard to the money
- 01
Take pictures
The nameplate, the cabinet interior and the tank in daylight. Three photographs are usually enough to place a unit in the right class and the right price band.
- 02
Send them to us
The form on this page, a text or an email all reach the same desk. Include the city, the access and any deadline the site is working to.
- 03
Review the offer
A buyer reads the photographs, asks one or two questions and sends a written offer with the assumptions stated, so nothing changes on the day.
- 04
We schedule freight
Crane, flatbed and permits are booked around your access. You get a date and a window, and we carry the cost of getting it right.
- 05
Testing on arrival
Winding resistance, megger and turns ratio, plus oil analysis where the unit is liquid filled. The results decide the final number, and you see them.
- 06
Get paid
Payment is released on the agreed terms once the unit is received and tested, by check or ACH. No retention, no sixty-day terms.

PCB paperwork
Pre-1979 units get the testing and the manifest they need.
Rating
What a 7500 kVA transformer is used for
The 7500 kVA class covers padmounts, dry-types and pole units, and the form decides where the unit can go. A marine unit corrodes at the enclosure long before the winding notices, so the cabinet is the first inspection.
A grounding transformer carries current only during a fault, so its continuous rating tells you very little. A temperature rise of 55 degrees is a more conservative build than 65, and the difference shows in the weight.
Size, weight and handling
A gate that is four inches too narrow turns a morning into a week. A step deck lowers the load and often removes the need for a permit, which is why padmounts travel that way.
A crane needs somewhere to stand, and the place it needs is rarely the place the site manager had in mind. Most sellers underestimate the lift and overestimate the drive, which is the opposite of how the cost actually falls.
What we check on a 7500 kVA unit
A unit that has been indoors for twenty years usually grades better than one that has stood in an Ohio schoolyard for eight. A lab report that names the method is easier to defend than one that does not.
A screened unit that passes still needs the full suite before it goes back into service. A sample taken from the bottom drain after the unit has stood tells you more than one taken in a hurry.
What it is worth
A clean oil test moves a number up faster than a new coat of paint ever will. Solar inverter units are recent enough that the first wave is only now reaching the used market.
A spill kit on site before the first bolt comes out is cheaper than the phone call that follows a missing one. A transformer sold as equipment keeps its documentation chain, and that chain has value to the next owner.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
How much does a 7500 kVA transformer weigh?
The only thing that changes a quote afterwards is something the photographs did not show, which is why we ask early. If the weight is unknown, the tank dimensions and the radiator count get a buyer within a few percent. A unit in a building that is coming down is a different problem from a unit in a plant that is staying.
Service area
Do you buy a single 7500 kVA unit?
If a unit is scrap, we will tell you it is scrap instead of dressing it up as something better. If the building changes hands at the end of the month, say so at the start and the schedule gets built backwards from that date. A short conversation at the start saves an argument at the gate, and the argument is the expensive part.
Payment
What if the 7500 kVA unit has failed?
If there is a bill of sale, a lien release or an asset tag, photograph that too, because paperwork is part of the condition. A substation that failed a high-potential test is a teardown candidate, but the tank and the core often outlive the winding. A demolition pickup is fast, dirty and often the most profitable, because the alternative is a unit in a rubble pile.
